To all of "Moms" family we send our love. And our thanks for sharing her with us. Thinking back on all the times we shared, the one that really stands out in my mind was a trip we took with the Girl Scouts. To this day I can still see her going down the water slide with all the girls. She was such a special person. And a perfect role-model for any girl. I know that I am a better person because of knowing her.

Heaven called another "Warrior" home! One of my fondest memories was Sis. Sluder's-Morrison saying; "Honey, ya just gotta plow deep". Her rewards will be many and her home going has given the phrase: "HOME for Christmas" a whole new meaning:-} Her legacy will continue on...Who will pick up her mantle?
Love and prayers to everyone.

Hey Shelby, I loved your mom, never was around her but a few times. I would always tell you she reminded me of my mother, that I lost Thanksgiving Day, 1997. I know you will miss her as I miss my mom so much still. Love to you and Wally

Grandma will be as much missed as
she was much loved. As I mourn my
Mothers passing (Kathleen) as well
as my Grandmothers, I can rejoice
in knowing that they are together
in heaven with my Dad and Grandpa.
I look forward to the reunion to
come.

Everyone loved Grandma. She was a kind loving person. We will all miss her. She worked hard all her life to get into heaven. Now the angels can rejoyce because one of Gods greatest angels has taken her place at the gate. Death is not so scarey knowing my Grandmother is there waiting to welcome me home :-)
Love ya grandma and we will all miss you very much!!
